Wah Yan College Kowloon Past Students’ Association will organise a sharing session for all alumni parents who applied for admission to S.1 for their sons in late February. If any alumni parents want to join this sharing session, please email Dr. Lau Wai Hung (class of 75) at lau.parkes@gmail.com *and* Mr. Victor Chan (class of 03) at pakwoonc@hotmail.com on or before 18 February (Monday).

In the past four years since establishment in 2015, our free on-site English tutorial program has expanded progressively, and currently serves six secondary schools in Tin Shui Wai and six in Kwai Chung. Over 1200 under-privileged students have benefited from our service, and some 60 alumni have been recruited to help out, mainly through the support of the two past students associations. In view of the expansion, we now need more tutors from the Wah Yan community.

If you or your family wish to put into practice the spirit of “Men for and with Others” and are willing to sacrifice a few hours per week of your free time (weekdays after school or Saturday mornings, for about ten weeks per school term) to help the needy by serving as an on-site English tutor, please visit the following websites containing details of our program and the roles of tutors, and an enrollment form:

If interested, please complete and return the enrollment form to us. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact either Stephen Lam (WYHK’75) at 93297501 or Herbert Chan (WYHK’79) at 90816207. We look forward to your favourable response.

PSA has set up the Aviation Fraternity, and would like to invite all WYK alumni who work in the aviation industry including, but not limited to, airline staff (pilots, flight attendants, engineers, dispatchers, etc.), CAD, GFS, private jet companies, aircraft finance leasing company, international regulatory bodies (ICAO, IATA, etc.), to join as members.

The Funeral Mass for Fr. Deignan will be held in the Chapel on 22 December 2018, and the car park will be closed in the morning, from 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., to make way for the funeral procession.

Please follow their instructions so that we could have a peaceful environment for the funeral. For vehicle parking registration, please contact the school office at 2384 1038.

It is with deep sorrow that I am announcing the passing of Fr. Alfred Deignan. Fr. Deignan left this world for his Eternal Home from St. Paul’s Hospital, Hong Kong at 3:43 a.m. on December 11, 2018.

Fr. Deignan’s life has been an embodiment of the loving-compassionate God. He is now meeting the Source of Love and Compassion face to face. May he continue to pray for us who are trying our best to live a good life in this world.

​Fr. Deignan was born in Mullagh, Co. Cavan, Ireland on Mar. 25, 1927. He entered the Society at Emo Park, Portlaoise, Laoise, Ireland, on Sep. 7, 1945; was ordained to the priesthood on July 31, 1959 in Dublin and professed the final vows on Nov. 5, 1977 at Ricci Hall, Hong Kong.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our most respected vice principal and WYKAAO advisor Mr Anthony Ho on the 8th of November 2018 in Toronto. He was 83. May he rest in peace! The following are the funeral arrangements:

Visitation
with Prayer and Eulogy service at 7pm
November 16 (Friday) 6pm – 9pm
Jerrett Funeral Home
6191 Yonge Street
North York, Ontario

There will be no burial after the Funeral Mass. Fr. Naylor has donated his remain to HKU for medical studies. HKU will receive his remain on the next day.

Since Fr. Naylor had always been a promoter of environmental conservation, please refrain from sending flower arrangements to the funeral.

In lieu of flowers, please feel free to make your donation to “Fr. Kelly Educational Fund Limited”. The proceeds will benefit education at WYK. Please provide a proper name and return address if a receipt is required for tax purpose (if given with a cheque).

As parking is very limited on that day, people who are planning to join the funeral mass are expected by the School to use public transport.
